Empowering Your Health at JCI St. Vincent!

The Fair, which took place in the Ministerial Parking Lot on Halifax Street, Kingstown, was held under the theme – “Empowering your Health”; the fair involved the conducting of free high blood sugar and blood pressure testing, weight testing, birth control and condoms demonstration, HIV/AIDS and Syphilis testing, free seedlings samples and more.

Representatives from the Ministry of Health were on site to deliver pertinent information on nutrition and weight. Also, the All Smiles Dental Clinic assisted by supplying informational booklets and other materials on proper dental hygiene. Patrons also had the opportunity to receive vision referrals compliments Courts Optical and exposure to information on safe sexual practices and condom usage by the St Vincent Planned Parenthood Association. Thanks to the Push Fitness Studio, patrons even had the opportunity to exercise on exhibited bikes.

We wish to thank all participating institutions for their support and contributions, as through this effort, more persons within our nation were able to benefit from well-needed free health services, which may be otherwise unaffordable.
